Content Warning: This email discusses police brutality.
The Massachusetts Republican Party just came after Ayanna and our movement. In an email to their supporters earlier today they wrote:
“We need to do everything we can [to] support our law enforcement officers, and make a statement to leftist[s] like Ayanna that we’re not going to sit back and quietly let her dismantle police departments across the Bay State.”
The Massachusetts Republican Party is stoking fear, sticking up for a deeply problematic system of policing, and attacking Ayanna’s work to end police brutality and address racial inequities in the criminal injustice system.
This attack on Ayanna and our movement comes on the heels of The Appeal publishing body camera footage today that shows Boston police officers assaulting protestors — and then bragging about it — during protests in response to George Floyd’s murder.
Ayanna will always speak out about injustice and work intentionally to codify healing. We need decisive action to combat the public health crisis that is police brutality. We can and must advance bold and systemic policy change at all levels of government to fundamentally reimagine our system of policing and criminal injustice.
The MA GOP is coming after Ayanna because she is a leader in Congress on this issue: she’s introduced legislation to end qualified immunity, condemn police brutality, and decarcerate our system of mass incarceration.
In solidarity,
The A-Team
